It’s All On Me

traipsing the verge of life
climbing darkened peaks
looking over jagged graves
realizing it’s all on me

forging denser plains
pushing into hidden trees
conquering what was lost
realizing it’s all on me

 

 

 

 

sinking from perfect places
finding peace in need
shouting from highest mountains
realizing it’s all on me

straining at shattered echoes
touching rougher seas
drowning in these shimmering ghosts
realizing it’s all on me

Tania L Ramos, Poetry Inspired by “Be Still” and character Dr. Jack Silver

Who is Dr. Jack Silver? he’s not a poet.  He’s a man, a father, was a husband, and now he’s dying.  Do you believe in the afterlife? Jack Silver is unsure what to think, but what he finds is the most terrifying and beautiful redemption ever. What he faces, is himself. What he leaves behind, is another story all together.

Some Aches Are Worth the Dream

Within a veil of sleep
Shunting off these years of skins
Reliving certain lives
Chasing what is unseen

Longing in this vein
Touching invisibility, diving still more
Throwing at ghosts
A whisper of bliss

Energy surges, blood warms
From absence there is strength
Taunting crude dreams
Moving to amber hues

Lifting a veil of loss
There is no solitude
In dark places, there I am
Never lost, some dreams ache

Some dreams ache
Some aches are worth the dream

It’s been a decade since I wrote poetry. This one slipped off my fingers and wrote itself. Maybe because I’ve been battling with my writing career. I don’t know, but it felt good to write it down.
